The pursuit of the financial proceeds of criminal activity has
become a central theme of contemporary crime control. Initially
conceived to tackle the global trade in illegal drugs, these
methods have been more recently employed in the context of
terrorism. This work offers a judicious account of the national and
international strategies which seek to cope with crime by attacking
its financial underpinnings. The book focuses on the increasingly
civil legal orientation of these strategies - a sea change from
criminal prosecutions to civil legal instruments. The author
focuses on developments of the civil strategy in the US and the UK
beginning with its historical origins. The work reveals the
contradictions that animate the civil approach to criminal finance
and discloses the failure of civil devices, as presently
constituted, to comply with rights. It bridges the gap between two
jurisdictions prominent in this area; the United States and the
United Kingdom. This comparative element distinguishes the project
from other work in the field that focuses on a single jurisdiction.
Critical in its perspective, the work brings balance and reflection
to an emergent area of national and international interest. Money
Laundering and the Proceeds of Crime analyzes rather than merely
describes the proceeds of crime laws, anti-money laundering regimes
and the civil legal approach to criminal finance and as such will
have a wide readership. The book will appeal to, amongst others,
government actors involved in constructing instruments to confront
criminal finance, scholars and researchers working in the area and
banks, financial institutions, lawyers and other professional
private actors charged with anti-money laundering functions.
